When I read the title, I immediately thought of knees, not rails. And the posture of the guys working here seemed to echo my thoughts! I know my joints woudln't be up to this kind of thing -- especially not in your climate!

What a great post. As I travelled across Canada on the train I would see the crews working in the cold on the tracks but didn't know what they were doing. Your detail is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this.Smiles
